Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup Elixir G
- 2 teaspoons minced lemongrass
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed and chilled lemon juice
- 16 ounces ginger ale

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, water, Elixer G, lemongrass and zest. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar. Cool then chill. When ready to serve, strain simple syrup and lemon juice into a 2-quart pitcher. Mix in the ginger ale. Place a few ice cubes in 4 (16-ounce) glasses.

Where is Elixer G sold? I understand the company is very picky about
who gets to buy their product. I am another one who gave this recipe 3
stars without even making it yet. I am anxious to try it though.

According to the program, Guy said you could make your own simple syrup "ginger concentrate or ginger sweet syrup" by mixing together a little ginger, crush it up, hit it with a little sugar, some lemon juice and make your own concentrate. Those are his directions on the program. For simple syrup you normally have equal parts sugar and water. Since I don't know what Elixir G actually tastes like I can't be exact on measurements.....I will try to find some in a store or online. But, I'm positive one can make it cheaper if it is merely a simple syrup! :

Anita -- buy it online if you can't find it in the stores. It's reasonably priced and that way you don't have to drive all over town looking for it!
